在华外国人犯罪的刑事法律应对

伴随北京、上海等国际化大都市的出现、增多和整个国家国际化进程的加快,中国境内的外国人口激增,中国开始面临长期困扰西方发达国家的外国人犯罪问题。文章在分析北京地区近10年外国人犯罪的规律和趋势的基础上,着力思考如何解决城市、国家的国际化发展与外国人犯罪应对体系滞后的现实问题,如何构建与城市、国家的国际化程度相适应的外国人犯罪刑事政策,如何设置顺应国际人口流动的出入境犯罪罪名体系,如何在全球化趋势下扩张中国刑法的适用范围、强化属地管辖意识和增强国际刑事司法协作,从而尝试为应对中国境内国际化大都市的逐渐增多和整个国家国际化程度的日益提高而做好法律层面的准备提供学理支持。

State of the Art in Risk Analysis of Workforce Criticality Influencing Disaster Preparedness for Interdependent Systems

The objective of this article is to discuss a needed paradigm shift in disaster risk analysis to emphasize the role of the workforce in managing the recovery of interdependent infrastructure and economic systems. Much of the work that has been done on disaster risk analysis has focused primarily on preparedness and recovery strategies for disrupted infrastructure systems. The reliability of systems such as transportation, electric power, and telecommunications is crucial in sustaining business processes, supply chains, and regional livelihoods, as well as ensuring the availability of vital services in the aftermath of disasters. There has been a growing momentum in recognizing workforce criticality in the aftermath of disasters; nevertheless, significant gaps still remain in modeling, assessing, and managing workforce disruptions and their associated ripple effects to other interdependent systems. The workforce plays a pivotal role in ensuring that a disrupted region continues to function and subsequently recover from the adverse effects of disasters. With this in mind, this article presents a review of recent studies that have underscored the criticality of workforce sectors in formulating synergistic preparedness and recovery policies for interdependent infrastructure and regional economic systems.

An Integrated Risk Assessment Model of Township‐Scaled Land Subsidence Based on an Evidential Reasoning Algorithm and Fuzzy Set Theory

Land subsidence risk assessment (LSRA) is a multi‐attribute decision analysis (MADA) problem and is often characterized by both quantitative and qualitative attributes with various types of uncertainty. Therefore, the problem needs to be modeled and analyzed using methods that can handle uncertainty. In this article, we propose an integrated assessment model based on the evidential reasoning (ER) algorithm and fuzzy set theory. The assessment model is structured as a hierarchical framework that regards land subsidence risk as a composite of two key factors: hazard and vulnerability. These factors can be described by a set of basic indicators defined by assessment grades with attributes for transforming both numerical data and subjective judgments into a belief structure. The factor‐level attributes of hazard and vulnerability are combined using the ER algorithm, which is based on the information from a belief structure calculated by the Dempster‐Shafer (D‐S) theory, and a distributed fuzzy belief structure calculated by fuzzy set theory. The results from the combined algorithms yield distributed assessment grade matrices. The application of the model to the Xixi‐Chengnan area, China, illustrates its usefulness and validity for LSRA. The model utilizes a combination of all types of evidence, including all assessment information—quantitative or qualitative, complete or incomplete, and precise or imprecise—to provide assessment grades that define risk assessment on the basis of hazard and vulnerability. The results will enable risk managers to apply different risk prevention measures and mitigation planning based on the calculated risk states.     

薪酬参照体的效应研究:基于多表征的路径模型与相对重要性

参照体选择在分配公平、薪酬满意研究中扮演重要角色,而以往研究多是关注焦点对象与参照体在薪酬上的数量差异。本文认为,参照体"数量差异"并不能完整表征参照体的效应,为此提出了"信息知晓度"、"判断关联性"、"比较频率"、"数量差异"等四类表征,在理论基础上构造路径模型与研究假设。实证研究表明,信息知晓度、判断关联性正向影响特定参照体的比较频率;数量差异正向影响分配公平、薪酬水平满意,比较频率负向影响分配公平、薪酬水平满意。通过三种研究路径的比较研究证实,自我生活成本等七类参照体相对重要。未来亟需就参照体选择的相关机制在纵贯上、在不同的组织情境下及考虑个体差异等方面予以深入考察。     

《鹿特丹规则》中“门到门”运输及其影响

《鹿特丹规则》的立法宗旨在于实现海上货物运输法律的统一。它对海上货物运输中相关主体的权利义务进行了重新分配,尤其是其中的"门到门"运输,加重了承运人的义务,这种权利义务的再分配,对海上保险法律制度必然会造成一定的影响。文章从《鹿特丹规则》"门到门"运输的基本内涵的研究出发,探讨了"门到门"运输下承运人义务的变化,分析了该规则的主要影响尤其是对海上保险可能造成的影响,以及海上保险法律制度的完善路径。     

类文明:全球化时代中国式民主的应然走向

中国式民主是人类民主类型中的一支新秀。如同任何类型的民主一样,中国式民主包含着内在精神和外在形式两个主要方面。就其内在精神来看,中国式民主以其创新的理论体系演绎着民主的普遍精神;就其外在形式来看,中国式民主又以其独特的实现形式丰富了人类民主的具体形式。因此,中国式民主是中国的,但又是人类的。在全球化时代,发展中国式民主必须具有开放的胸襟和广纳的气魄——即具有类文明的自觉。只有准确地把握中国式民主的精神实质和具体实现形式,在坚持中国特色的同时,不断增强"类文明"的成分,才能发展好中国式民主,建设社会主义政治文明。从一定意义上讲,不断走向"类文明",正是中国式民主的基本走向和最终归宿。
